My item ordered Thursday is supposed to be here tomorrow (Tuesday) and Amazon e-mailed to say it was delayed. UPS tracking says a late trailer will make it late. I chat with Amazon for 10 minutes. By that time UPS says it's back on time. About ordering on Thursday and it not shipping until Sunday Am...

We have a New Balance store nearby. They are wonderful for looking at your walk, having you walk/run onto special paper, etc to figure out what shoes you need. Over the years both my wife and I have been there and been quite pleased with the help.

Last week or so I've had items listed as taking longer than the usual 2 days with shipping the same or next day. For instance, last 3 items: ordered November 30, shipped Dec 2, arriving Dec 5. ordered December 1, shipping soon, arriving Dec 6. ordered December 1, shipped Dec 2, arriving Dec 4. I spe...

Personally I think mold issues have improved with newer front loaders. If putting on a first floor with basement below if getting front loading I would pay particular attention to vibration info, and regardless invest in really good hoses because a leak will be particularly worse on 1st floor compar...

The "Reveal" Podcast from Saturday, 11/5/16 was about au pairs. I'm sure 2 sides to every story but very interesting. They said there was a similar written piece in the Washington Post Magazine. Links to both: https://www.revealnews.org/episodes/host-of-problems/ https://www.washingtonpost...

voip.ms is what we have. There all kinds of IVR options for incoming calls, including setting all incoming to receive busy or not in service message, or route to a prerecorded message, such as no incoming calls accepted, call office at xxxx.

A couple years ago I realized late in year we'd underpaid, I make an online payment and they docked us a $9 penalty. A later year I realized it again and did a W4 to spike the federal withholdings for the rest of the year, then a W4 at year end to go back to before.

I want to remove old track lighting above our kitchen table and install 3 pendant lights, both for looks and for more light. I understand the electrical behind it and am ok doing to electrical work. In the end I want to use standard full size LED bulbs. I'm realizing that this is different from mini...

We have nearly 100 prime orders in the last 13 month. Once an order sent UPS was stuck at hub an extra day. I contacted Amazon through the chat feature on the website, they voluntarily extended our prime membership one month. Another time an item was shipping with tracking sent, using SmartPost and ...

I would wait for a rain and feel the PVC stack pipe in the attic to confirm first. If that is the leak find a handyman or roofer to replace the boot around the vent pipe on the actual roof. If you go to the fix instead of replace I'd recommend Henry's patch stuff from my limited us. For don't fix it...

Personally, I'd post on a buy/sell/trade group on Facebook that you're looking for someone to do this. Personally, at least around here, I'd get several highly skilled folks interested for a low price.

I've been using these $8 headphones for several years with running, walking, hiking, working around the house, etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CJTR82/ I mostly listen to podcasts an often they are quieter in general then music. Too often I turn the volume on the phone up all the way and s...

This morning we got a call that there was possible fraud on our new Elan Fidelity 2% Visa credit card, which we only got in mid-late June. Long story short they said "it" was used to try to buy a coke at a vending machine in New York, and that's one way fraudsters try to test cards. So, ca...

A shorter time on hold when calling than a 'regular" Vanguard customer. There's a thread right now about long wait times. With Flagship a direct call to a rep or, if not available, Flagship desk with minimal wait. Of course, you'd need to have a reason to call to have this benefit.

Here in the midwest we have very large rural and even semirural areas that use well water and don't have hydrants. I grew up in a township with many thousand people, the fire dept had a tanker truck and still does to use for larger fires.

Does anyone know when points are automatically converted to 2% and put in an IRA, if already set up? With FIA my statement was cut on the 13th of a month, and if over 5K in points it was deposited roughly the 5th of the next month. Did you call the credit card company to ask? They can give you exac...

What do the lower case letters in the second column under the word "Replies" mean? I don't get to the forum through this portal, either. If you scroll to the very bottom it says: Subforum key: h = Investing - Help with Personal Investments t = Investing - Theory, News & General p = Pe...

Doesn't fully answer your "issue" but it does say when you hover on the question mark: You can choose the day of the month from the available dates that you want your payment to be made. If this day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the payment will be posted on the next business day...

When I log in it says next payment due 8/17 and autopay set up to pay on the 15th. Pialara at customer service was very clear that this takes a full cycle to take effect and my last bill from FIA is not going to autopay, I have to do it manually. As nothing has shown up either on my bank account or ...

To update, we’ve received two actual bills. The first, as mentioned above, is from the ER doctor company and is for $127. I called and asked them to waive it as paid in full, as insurance paid 85%. They politely declined. I then told them I would appeal to our insurance company. They voluntarily sai...

I try to keep social security number private and secret, not public to pass to whoever wants it. Are they able to obtain it from another source? I don't feel as though I should publicly share the name of the ambulance company. I will give an update on my other thread about the whole medical insuranc...

We are trying to get medical records for my wife from a company to assist in a denial appeal with our insurance. The company's letters are kind of aggressive and they have many resolved complaints with the BBB, including sending to collections. Every time I call they say "Oh, we're missing her ...
